      BOARD DATE:        18 OCTOBER 2005
      DOCKET NUMBER:  AR20050000809


      I certify that hereinafter is recorded the true and complete record
of the proceedings of the Army Board for Correction of Military Records in
the case of the above-named individual.

|     |Mr. Carl W. S. Chun               |     |Director             |
|     |                                  |     |Senior Analyst       |


      The following members, a quorum, were present:

|     |                                  |     |Chairperson          |
|     |                                  |     |Member               |
|     |                                  |     |Member               |

      The Board considered the following evidence:

      Exhibit A - Application for correction of military records.

      Exhibit B - Military Personnel Records (including advisory opinion,
if any).

THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST, STATEMENT, AND EVIDENCE:

1.  In effect, the applicant requests reconsideration of her request for
physical disability retirement.  She also requests new identities for her
family and her for protection.  She requests that her family members be
provided for.  She requests correction of her family history.  She requests
reimbursement of an allotment.

2.  The applicant states that it has endangered herself and her family, and
has caused financial hardship.  She questions whether her dental implants
claim should be filed with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
because of their failure to act, causing trillions of dollars of waste to
the taxpayers and damage to herself and her family throughout the years
because of her temporomandibular joint (TMJ) syndrome.  She is not able to
use her veteran’s benefits to the fullest. She turned in a report of
medical malpractice at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).  It has
also caused damages to federal employee staff doctors and nurses who have
helped her and has put them in harms’ way.  She has been raped because the
FCC was not regulating itself.  Her constitutional right to privacy has
been violated.  She has had to write the United Nations and the President,
to no avail.

3.  The applicant provides a copy of an 18 November 2003 VA rating
decision, copies of two offense incident reports prepared by the Dallas
Police Department, a copy of a 10 November 2004 VA letter informing her
that she was not competent about her ability to handle her financial
affairs, a copy of a                 16 December 2004 letter to her from
the Texas State Board of Medical Examiners, a copy of a 29 January 2003 VA
letter informing her that her administrative federal tort claim for one
trillion dollars had been denied, and a copy of her 9 September 1980 DD
Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty).

CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:

1.  Incorporated herein by reference are military records which were
summarized in the previous consideration of the applicant's case by the
Army Board for Correction of Military Records (ABCMR) in Docket Number AC91-
06559, on      16 September 1992.

2.  The applicant enlisted in the Army for three years on 14 September
1976, completed training, and in January 1977 was assigned to a signal
battalion in Germany as a clerk-typist.  She was promoted to pay grade E-4
in October 1978. On 28 March 1979 she reenlisted in the Army for three
years.  She returned to the United States and in September 1979 was
assigned to Fort Benning, Georgia.

3.  On 14 July 1980 a Medical Evaluation Board found that the applicant was
medically unfit for further military service because of schizophreniform
disorder, acute, severe, in good partial remission; manifested by somatic,
grandiose and religious delusions; loose associations, flat affect,
ambivalence, autism and confusion.  Her stress was mild prior to her first
psychotic break, but then severe (one week in jail and difficulties with
her superiors, prior to her initial psychiatric hospitalization).  She had
a deprived emotional upbringing with poor relationship with parents and a
long history of seclusiveness and lesbianism.  The MEB indicated that her
hospital admission on 28 April 1980 was her second psychiatric
hospitalization.  The MEB recommended that she be referred to a Physical
Evaluation Board (PEB).

4.  On 6 August 1980 a PEB found the applicant physically unfit to perform
her duties because of her schizophrenic disorder.  The PEB indicated that
her disorder was most analogous to schizophrenia, unspecified type, acute,
severe, in good partial remission without requirement for medications; and
that her industrial and social impairment was deemed slight.  It
recommended that she be separated from the Army with a 10 percent
disability rating.  The applicant concurred.

5.  The applicant was discharged on 9 September 1980 at Fort Sam Houston,
Texas because of her physical disability, with an honorable
characterization of service.

6.  In response to her 20 April 1983 application to this Board, she was
informed that because the VA was processing her case for compensation, it
was not possible to process her medical claim with this Board and the VA at
the same time, as both agencies required her medical records.  She was
further informed that her application had been withdrawn without prejudice,
and that her case could be reopened in the future.

7.  On 16 September 1992 the applicant’s request for an increase in her
Army disability rating was denied by this Board.

8.  On 6 July 1998, in response to her application for reconsideration, she
was advised that since she had not submitted any new material evidence or
other relevant matter which was not in her record at the time of the prior
Board consideration, her request was not considered by the Board.

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:

1.  The Board is considering the applicant’s request because of the new
evidence that she submits with her application, for instance, the documents
from the VA.  In this respect, the Board is acting only upon her request
for physical disability retirement.  The other matters which she refers to,
e.g., new identities for her family, family members be provided for, etc.,
are outside the purview of this Board and will not be further addressed.
Her request concerning reimbursement of an allotment cannot be acted upon
without some evidence regarding this matter, which she has not provided and
which is not available.

2.  Nevertheless, the VA documents, although new evidence, shed no light on
her situation.  The 18 November 2003 VA rating decision shows that the VA
determined that she was not competent to handle disbursement of funds.  The
  10 November 2004 letter to her from the VA informed her only that the VA
was working on her service-connected compensation claim for TMJ syndrome;
and, on that same date the VA informed her again that she was not competent
for VA purposes because of her paranoid schizophrenia.  The remaining
documents that she submits with her application do not provide evidence to
support her contention, physical disability retirement.

3.  Despite the documents that she submits, and the arguments she puts
forth, there is no reason to grant her request for physical disability
retirement.  The applicant has not provided any evidence to dispute the
decision made in 1980 to discharge her with a 10 percent disability rating.
 Her request for physical disability retirement is denied.

BOARD VOTE:

BOARD DETERMINATION/RECOMMENDATION:

The evidence presented does not demonstrate the existence of a probable
error or injustice.  Therefore, the Board determined that the overall
merits of this case are insufficient as a basis to amend the decision of
the ABCMR set forth in Docket Number AC91-06559, dated 16 September 1992.

    On 2 December 1998 a PEB considered the applicant’s condition as indicated by the TDRL examination and determined that she was physically unfit, recommended a 10 percent disability rating and that she be separated with severance pay. Her renal disease was in remission, however, she had received inadequate therapy due to the continued low white blood cell count which was probably secondary to some systemic activity of lupus. She stated the VA has evaluated her condition as 100 percent disabling.

    Left knee X-rayson 21 February 2007 were normal.At the MEB examination on 9 March 2007, 3 months prior to separation, the CI reported constant knee pain. Notes in the STR indicated the CI was advised the right knee pain was due to compensation for the left knee injury. RECOMMENDATION : The Board, therefore, recommends that there be no re-characterization of the CI’s disability and separation determination.
